Is there actually any use for the 'loot' that enemies drop! or is it purely there to sell?

Loot is the general currency, this was the game where they stopped the much maligned FF tradition of monsters dropping money. Not quite everything in the loot back is useless for any other purpose, there's teleport stones and the odd item here and there that has some other purpose but 99% is purely for selling.

Ah that's cool then. I thought the income seemed a bit small. Still seems quite limiting with the price of weapons and armour though.

It's very limiting so its a good idea to use the hunt rewards, bazzar and random field loots to supplement your equipment.

What do you think of the cast so far? I always found it a very strange dynamic, a team of Ashe, Basch, Balthier and Fran makes perfect sense, first two have clear political motivations, other two have unclear motivations but still are driven by something. But Vaan and Penelo seem really out of place. The others talk down to them a bit and generally keep them out of earshot for important things, Penelo at least tries to understand but Vaan is totally oblivious to whats going on.

I think the cast is actually my least favourite part of the game so far. I don't really feel an attachment to any of them as of yet, and left wondering if I will at any stage. There doesn't seem to be a standout main character at all, like you said Vaan seems pretty out of place. All I can think about him is he's trying to prove himself to Balthier and Fran to become a 'proper' Sky Pirate. Other than that I have no idea what to think about the rest of them.

It's the standout weakpoint of the game, the lack of chemistery. Balthier has excellent lines and is very funny, Ashe,Basch and Fran all have good roles and play their part there's just no glue to link everything together, a lot of them seem like strangers to each other which I suppose they are. Would be a bit like FFIX without Zidane since he really ties everyone together there.

Yeah. I definitely think it saps a bit of the enjoyment from the game when you have a weak cast. A strong cast of characters is a must in an RPG.

I do like Balthier's sarcastic accent though, he is very funny.
